Easter Greetings

Description

A soft lavender background provides the setting for this charming Victorian-era Easter greeting card, where a vibrant rooster commands attention as the focal point, surrounded by festive springtime imagery. Chromolithography brings delicate blue forget-me-nots, golden chicks, and decorative eggs—including pink/red, blue-green, and white varieties—arranged with flowers throughout the composition. The rooster's striking plumage in russet and iridescent dark green demonstrates the sophisticated color printing techniques of the period. Period calligraphy spells out 'Easter Greetings,' making this a quintessential example of Victorian Easter sentimentality and artistic craftsmanship.
